I havent seen it mentioned in this thread yet, but it's a long-standing gripe in the Mac community: why do Finder icons always lie behind all the windows of other applications? Kludges like the BLAST Fkey and the latest MultiFinder's Set Aside command are still pretty inconvenient. When an application (the Finder or any other) is in the foreground, all its graphic objects should be in the foreground. Obvious, yes? People have mentioned that it would be nice for applications to be able to iconise windows that the user currently doesnt want to look at. Isnt this exactly what Finder icons are? Why should a window vanish underneath all the other windows on the screen just because it's been collapsed to an icon? -- Richard Kennaway SYS, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. uucp: ...mcvax!ukc!uea-sys!jrk Janet: kennaway@uk.ac.uea.sys
